My tale isn't positive. I live north of SF. Was interested in a 2013 Xterra on City Auto Center's lot. As soon as i clicked my interest online, Mike called me and encouraged me to test drive it. Said it was a really good vehicle. When I said I'd have to find a friend available last-minute to give me a ride to Davis, Mike said they'd pick up the cost of my Uber or Lyft to take me there. Went today. $134.99 to Davis. Test drove the vehicle. The price was good, but the vehicle wasn't as solid a ride as one i'd driven yesterday. Called my partner. He said we'd return together. I told Mike, who was gracious until i asked about reimbursing me for my ride share. He said, "that's only if you buy the car." Mike, you and I even discussed on the phone who would pay for my return home if i didn't buy. You said, "We'll only pay your way here." You said nothing about your reimbursing only upon purchase. Bad business and even worse ethics. You just lost a sale and gained a social media presence. read more

I found a used vehicle online and called to inquire. I spoke with Sam and he was very helpful and kind. A day later I went in to test drive the car and I was able to meet Sam in person. He was very casual and I felt no pressure whatsoever. He held the car for me for 1 day so I could come back with my husband and we were able to take the car him that day. Best and easiest car buying experience. I highly recommend Sam and City Auto Center in Davis! read more

I bought my Prius about three years ago and the car is still running just as well as when I first got it - even though I've added about 20,000 miles. My experience buying the car was also great, Sam was incredibly flexible and patient. read more

I got a great deal for a great car! No hassle, great cooperative staff. Did all my research ahead of time, came in for an easy test drive and the rest is history. The staff really wants what is best for the customer. Ask for Mike! read more

These guys are GRADE A+. Came from Chico, which is about a two hour drive and Nadia was able to save the car for us as others were wanting the one we wanted. The overall experience was very professional, yet not pushy at all which can be a huge turnoff. They treated me with great respect and absolutely love the car we got and the deal they gave us! Definitely going to go back. Nadia and Sam were the BEST! read more

Went into City Auto Center for the car I wanted and was outta there in less then 1.5 hours. People who helped me were super friendly! Was able to test drive 2 cars while I was there and still got outta there in a timely manner! Before you go there make sure you check there website out for the car or cars your interested in so you don't waste time browsing the lot while your there. read more

I'm a first time buyer and the staff made it so easy and comfortable during the process. I was in and out quick and was given an affordable price on a car that I LOVE! Will definitely tell everyone looking for a car to come here. Thank you so much City Auto Center! read more

Purchased a car here from Sam. Not only were they helpful and courteous, they went above and beyond by making sure I was satisfied! We will definitely recommend them to friends and they will be the first place we call for our next purchase! read more

Amazing Experience! I am very happy to say I got the car that I wanted at a great price, all thanks to Sam! Sam worked really hard to make sure that I'd not only drive off with the car in the same day, but buy it at a great price. He did a really great job at finding financing for me to get this car. He really went into detail about the car's history and all the finance paperwork. He's unlike any pushy salesman that just wants to give you keys and sign some papers. He's truly a great salesman who wants the customer to be happy! He also threw in a free car detail after the purchase! Overall, Sam was really nice, honest, professional and will truly go above and beyond to help a customer! I'd definitely recommend to go this dealership and to also see him if you want to be taken care of! read more

Mike is really nice! I walked in on a Sunday, randomly. I've been looking for a car for weeks. I told him my budget, and he showed me a car that was a little over my budget, but he worked with me on the price to get it down to my budget. Very helpful. The car was a 2008 Subaru Impreza that they had just got as a trade-in. He showed me the Carfax and Sam (the owner I believe) gave me payment options for their different tiers of warranties to look over. I really appreciated that they tried to give me a good price for the warranties and space the payments out as much as they could so I could pay as little as my budget allowed on a monthly basis. I took it for a test drive and noticed a few noises. They said they would have it checked, and immediately the next day he called and their mechanic had fixed my concerns (the drive belt and muffler)! They even kept telling me that if I wanted to have someone look at it that there was no problem. I was excited, but I do think it's always good to have a 3rd party inspect the car. This applies especially to me because I do not know much about cars. I scheduled the pre-purchase inspection, and Mike went with me. Very nice guy and easy to talk to. He answered all my questions and if he didn't know, he made sure to find out. I really appreciate that! Long story short, I took away one start because I did not end up getting the car. There were a few more things that needed to be repaired that I would not be able to afford. But the other 4 stars are because they were friendly, transparent with what they did and did not do to the car, and very patient with me. They never pressured me, snapped, got annoyed or acted like I was wasting their time. I had a friend drop me off there and Mike was even nice enough to drive me home after I told them I would pass on the car. What dealer does that?!!!! That is above and beyond! They said they would keep me updated on if they can find a car for me. And I hope they do, because I would definitely do business with them again! They let my friend who initially came to the dealership with me test drive it with us (she knows more about cars than I do), and they didn't mind me having whoever I wanted to inspect/look at it to come in. They didn't lie, and they were very accommodating. It's hard to find this at a used car dealer. So I'm very grateful. read more

My husband and I bought a 2006 Dodge Charger from here not even two months ago. The price listed was great so we knew we had to jump on it fast. He test drove it after work and the next day we both went and test drove it again. We put almost half down and decided to buy a small warranty for 3,000 miles, just in case there was something wrong with it. The dealer assured us it ran great and everything would be fine. Just on our way home we could tell that regular maintenance had not been done on it. The brakes were bad and it seemed like it needed a tune up. The AC made some funny noises when going from hot to cold. No big deal, but made me wonder why they didn't do such a routine maintenance before selling it?? We took it on a family trip, to test it out. It drove very well. No problem going there and back. But when we got home is when the issues started. First it started popping out of gear when you would accelerate quickly, like when merging into the freeway. It acted like it was put into neutral until the RPMS went all the way down. Then it shifted back. Another time it overheated on my way to pick up my daughter from school, which is only down the road! I pulled over and let it cool down, made it to her school and back home. The water was low so we filled it and it was fine for a week or so. Then it did it again! Well come to find out today the radiator is cracked! It blew up on my husband this morning on his way to work!!! Now another item to add to the list of repairs that need to be done on a car we just purchased.... not even two months ago. My advice, look somewhere else for your used car needs. Somewhere that inspects them and repairs them before selling. Not here where they try to get rid of them as soon as possible. read more

I had just purchased my 2015 Dodge Journey today! I am really glad I chose this place. My sales rep, Mike, was super friendly, helpful, polite, and a real professional! I make my living as a wholesale sales professional so I know if a salesperson is being honest or just plain playing you for your buck! Mike is sincere, pair that with an affordable and reliable vehicle..... I WAS SOLD! read more

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE!!!! I bought my first car from here after reading all the positive reviews and thinking that it was a good idea. I did not know much about cars and probably should have taken a male with me when purchasing the car (unfortunately). When I got into the car I heard an odd noise under the hood and asked the dealer what that was and they said that everything was okay and that the car "passed" all the test on paper which is why it was okay to sell and take. WRONG!!!!!!!!! One week after having the car I decided to take it to a shop and they evaluated that noise determining that it would be a $962 repair. I am absolutely PISSED that I was lied to by the dealer and have to pay for this repair. I am here to tell you to take your money and business elsewhere to save yourself the headache and trouble! read more

I just bought a Honda civic 2015 from this business and I could not be happier. Ramzy and Mike where great. They had a wonderful sense of humor, they were respectful and treated me well. Loved the service, attention, and honesty. Keep up the good job guys. And..for Mike: Shukran Habbibi :) Duraid read more

The guys were great! I came to test drive a ford escape and while it was exceptionally clean and priced great it was too large for my needs. They didn't hesitate to check their inventory for other small suv type vehicles in my price range. Thats how i found my Nissan Rogue. Years newer than similar ones I'd looked at on other lots for comparable price and SO CLEAN. It was like buying a NEW car! The whole process was efficient and friendly and as promised my registration arrived in the mail 2 weeks later. These guys are on top of it and know their stuff. Im VERY happy with my purchase. read more

I purchased a 2013 Volkswagen CC sport from Sam (cash), but the transaction was between me and Mike. Not even a day of me having the car I couldn't get an oil change because the oil/repair man said that my drain plug was stripped. I took it back to the dealership to get fixed by the guy next door. Since then I have taken this car to the Volkswagen dealership 6 times for repairs. Anywhere from the check engine light coming on to the car running bad. Sam was not helpful and told me he didn't have to give me any paper work( previous service paperwork) On the vehicle because they are a used dealership. I haven't had the car for even a two full months and it's becoming more costly to repair. I understand I purchased the car as is, but there isn't any type of professionalism nor customer service coming from the staff here. I'm very disappointed in my purchase and will not be recommending this car lot. read more

I highly recommend coming here these guys are so awesome and have great cars! I also want to Thank Sam and Mike for their great customer service & welcoming environment! I am in LOVE with my car !! read more

06 Sonata was sold to us with a bad battery. Told Sam about it, says it was OUR fault that we left something on that killed the battery. Only thing we left on was the car alarm. And he said, thats not his problem. *side note: if the battery dies, it should be able to re charge by the alternator/or battery charger and HOLD the charge. This battery was completely old and bad, it couldnt hold a charge at all. When we purchased the vehicle we were told it was checked out by his mechanic. Its great to know that they skip batteries in their inspections. Bottom line, they sold us a car with a bad battery, even though the vehicle was "checked out". Sam was super rude over the phone and hung up before i could get another word in. What a great businessman read more

Bought a cadillac cts. Before i was able to make my first payment, it left me stranded. It ended up being the alternator which cost me $268 just for the part. While getting it replaced the mechanic noticed engine oil in the water for the cooling system. I called owner of city auto named muhammad. He refused to help and said i was on my own. Stay away from these junks! Lesson learned. read more

I love City Auto Center. I just bought a 335i BMW 2009 from them. This is my second BMW i have bought from them. Great services and great people. Love my car and payed less than i was going to spend. Mohamaed and Samer are very nice guys and they even went out of thier way to help me with the financing and they even worked hard with the bank to give me the lowest intrest possible and a payment i was comfortable with even though i have a high end top of the line car, my payments are soooooooo low!!! I love my car and I love CITY AUTO CENTER!!! read more

I think everyone should buy a car here. I had looked at a lot of car lots and dealt with a lot of shady salesmen. On a recommendation from another dealer, I ended up here. I was very nervous when I first went here to purchase my Honda Civic. Sam was really easy to deal with and it was painless. He even helped out when my car would not start and no one could figure out why, he sent to a good mechanic and problem was taken care of quickly. Sam is not at all like other "car dealers", he is really a nice guy. Thank you Sam. read more

The past 10 years i have bought 6 cars from city auto center, It was pleasure doing business with city auto center, and specially Sam, he was very nice and gave me the best deals ever. read more

I bought my first car from here about a week ago. Mike was the one who was there on Saturday when I first looked. He was honest and patient with us as we test drove car after car. We came back on Sunday when I made up my mind and Sam helped us fill out all the paper work and seal the deal. He was very easy to understand and explained everything patiently with my grandfather who co-signed for the vehicle. A couple days later after the purchase I spoke with Sam again and he was so personal asking how I was doing and how the car is. The car is wonderful so far, I love it! I would definitely go back to them when buying another vehicle and my boyfriend says the same. Thank you City Auto Center! read more

Let me start off by saying one of the worst business practices I've ever dealt with in my years dealing with business people. First off, we had an agreement on a vehicle at their lot. I have videos, text messages, even a 7-page contract that my wife and I signed on the car along with agreed price that was turned into our credit union one day later after final negotiations. One day later they sell the car out from under us with only an email saying sorry for the inconvenience and salesman saying wasn't his call the managers call. No call, no text, nothing and my wife and I were planning on going there with my daughter who had just turned 16 to get her first car. We had it all scheduled and set up to be completely blindsided. One of the worst places and I will never ever recommend a place like this. Being in sales for 24 years, I could never let one of my customers HANG to dry like this and treat them or their family in this kind of a way knowing that this was a gift for their daughter. Extremely disappointed words can't describe how upset we are as a family. read more

Ramses was the best! I typically buy from larger lots but this dealership is straight forward honest. Ramses was polite friendly helpful and honest. Thank you City Auto Center and thank you Ramses. read more

Mike was very easy going and personable and I had a really good experience buying the Toyota Rav4 from here. The buying process was really smooth and fast and I liked how easy going the place was. It wasn't like that typical dealerships where bunch of sales men are waiting in front and pressuring you to purchase the car. It was the total opposite. I highly recommend City Auto Center for anyone looking to buy a car! read more

Sam got for me a 2008 328i BMW after we talked on the phone. Best of all, its still under warranty and the San Francisco BMW dealer detailed it and maintains it for free. This is absolutely my best car yet, a real head turner; CityAutoCenter.net is absolutely the best car dealership in Sacramento, I've referred all my friends to Sam 916-457-2119; he is one of the rare honest and reliable car dealers in Sacramento. Thanks Sam. read more

Bought a car yesterday and experienced the best service ever Ramses took care and made sure I walked off happy. If you need a car I recommend you going to City Auto Center in Davis and talk to Ramses. read more

I wish I knew about this place sooner! A recommendation from a friend was all it took. I have purchased 2 beautiful 7 series BMW's from city auto center. I'm very particular when it comes to cars and was always warned about pre owned vehicles, but my experiences here were awesome! All my concerns and questions were met. I would give more stars if I could... they definitely deserve more than 5. read more

Nadia & Sam were great! Worked with them on a pain free car buying experience. Love my new car & my new car dealer!

These guys are awesome! Ramsey and Chris took good care of me. I got a great deal and am very happy with my purchase. No high pressure sales and they addressed every concern. My transaction was smooth and I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

This place sucks. I bought a Dodge caliber from this place. I went to get it checked out and it turns out it had a big oil leak, needed a new oil gasket, and a couple weeks later the transmission went out. This place sells rip off cars. Of I could I would give it a negative 4 read more

I just purchased my first car, a 2013 toyota prius and it drives like a dream. They were very helpful and thorough and made sure that the process was streamlined and easy. The whole experience was wonderful and I found them very helpful and knowledgable. Would definitely recommend. read more

Great service. We showed up 30 minutes before closing to buy a car and the salesman stayed past closing to make sure everything was taken care of when we bought a car from him. He was very nice and helpful. I would come back to him if I do need another used car. read more

It was my first time buying a car and as an 18 year old that kind of thing can get scary! I actually went to so many places before this. Funny story is that I ended up there accidentally, but I can definitely say it was fate !! Instantly, I felt welcomed by Sam and not lost at all. He showed me all the cars I was into & there wasn't heavy pressure which I personally admired. Then before I knew it he showed me a car that wasn't even on the lot yet, that I fell in love with! He helped me find something I wanted and needed, at my perfect price. They were so fast and efficient it was amazing. We waited till the next day to finish up because he wanted to be sure it could get cleaned and detailed. And the detailer Chris was so friendly as well, and my car looked FANTASTIC! Mike made sure all the paperwork was easy and really helped me figure it all out, he stayed super positive and really connected with me. I have never been more impressed, i am beyond thankful for all these people!! They're the ones you can trust read more

Bought my first car from here the other day. So glad that I found out they had a location in Davis. I wasn't really set on buying a car until I found the one I wanted here. The owner Sam was really nice and helpful. They have super fast friendly customer service. I was contacted back about my car interest within no time! They truly showed that they cared and that's what I loved the most. Great customer service! I had no hesitations whatsoever about purchasing a car from here. I would definitely buy from here again and recommend all my friends and family =) read more

We've had an absolutely wonderful experience with City Auto Center. Sam was knowledgeable, accommodating and flexible throughout the car buying process. We drove from Palo Alto to Sacramento for the Lexus they had listed, and it was definitely worth the trek! Couldn't be happier. We'll definitely be going back to them the next time we're in the market for a car. read more

This is a great place to buy a used car! No pressure sales, direct credit union lending and cars good prices. They answered all my questions. I made several trips to test drive cars and am very pleased with my purchase. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them in the future. read more

Awesome people, great crew!! Bought a Ford Fusion and unfortunately it got totaled before I got the chance to enjoy it. Once I settled with my insurance company Ramsey got me in the same exact one that very same Saturday! They go above and beyond thats why I doubled back!!! Thanks!!! read more
